I hit the Logan today to celebrate being single. I only fished for a couple of hours until dark.
I tried to throw every fly in the book (scuds, midges, bead heads, wooly buggers) at them and was successful at only catching sticks.
I shortened my leader from 6 feet to 3 feet (shortest I have ever fished) and tied on a Renegade and the action was fierce. I caught 4 bows and a brown (all cookie cutters) in 5 minutes. Then I caught a tree, slipped, got wet, and played it safe & went home.
It is amazing what one fly and a change in leader length can do in such little time.
No photos - C& R - Steep banks with 3 feet of snow made me decide leave my smart phone in the car.
